Poison (Thanks For Nothing)

I never wanted to play make believe
I tried to stay within reality
And from a real young age
I learned to cope with pain
I never was the same

I didn't want you to be superman
I only wanted you to hold my hand
I guess I asked too much
Or wasn't worth enough
But I kept faith because
You're supposed to love and protect me

(Sorry that I didn't turn out the way that you wanted
But I just wanted you to stay)

You're supposed to love and accept me

(Instead, I waited wasting so much time
And without you, I really had to sacrifice
The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life)

I played my part, you had my heart
Believed it all would work out
Without a shred of doubt

But in your eyes, I couldn't fly
Why wasn't I good enough?
Guess I just don't mean much
Is it too late to quit this game?

Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for

(Well thanks for nothing)

Should I apologize for giving up?
Should I be sorry that I've had enough?
Of broken promises, excessive harsh judgements
And subtle rejections

Are you aware of what you've done to me?
Or are you so just blind that you can't see?
The scars that you've left here mutated into fear
Of people getting near

Why didn't you love and accept me?

(Sorry that I didn't turn out the way that you wanted
I guess that's why you didn't stay)

Why couldn't you love and protect me?

(Instead, I waited wasting so much time
And without you, I really had to sacrifice
The part of my heart that believed dreams could come to life)

You had a chance
I took it back
Why should I let you go free
When you can't stop hurting me?

Wish I were strong
Enough to hold on
But the ache grows and grows
As long as I still can't say 'no'
So you've got to go

Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt

(Well thanks for nothing)

I'm not too sensitive
And I'm not incompetent
You failed the job that you were meant to have in my life
No, I'm not incompetent
No, I'm not too sensitive
And if you really cared, then you'd just say you're sorry!

The saddest part is that you won't even hear this song

I wish that things had been different
And now I just can't leave it all behind
If I could heal the wounds within
Maybe we both could start again
For now I can't, my heart is cracked
So until then, can't let you in
This is the end

Fill me with poison, make me numb
I don't care if my heart stops
Feed me your bullshit, hope it works
That's all you're fucking good for

Swallow your poison, just one gulp
I want you to drink it all
Have just a taste of what you serve
This is how bad your lies hurt

(Thanks for nothing)
